#EESPublishes: Prof #DentonEbel of @AMNH on Non-destructive #Xray #CT on #meteorites
Professor Denton Ebel of The American Museum of Natural History coauthored a paper in Meteoritics & Planetary Science entitled: X-ray computed tomography imaging: A not-so-nondestructive technique -Abstract: X-ray computed tomography has become a popular means for examining the interiors of meteorites and has been advocated for routine curation and for the examination of samples returned by missions. Here, we report the results of a blind test that indicate that CT imaging deposits a considerable radiation dose in a meteorite and seriously compromises its natural radiation record. Ten vials of the Bruderheim L6 chondrite were placed in CT imager and exposed to radiation …
#EESPublishes: Prof #CharlesVörösmarty of @CityCollegeNY on Enhancing Participation in the @usgcrp
Proffesor Charles J. Vörösmarty of City College coauthored a book entitled: Enhancing Participation in the U.S. Global Change Research Program Summary: The US Global Change Research Program (USGCRP) is a collection of 13 Federal entities charged by law to assist the United States and the world to understand, assess, predict, and respond to human-induced and natural processes of global change. As the understanding of global change has evolved over the past decades and as demand for scientific information on global change has increased, the USGCRP has increasingly focused on research that can inform decisions to cope with current climate variability …
#EESPublishes: Prof Yan Zheng of @QC_news on #CoreSectioning and #PoreWater extraction under #Anoxic conditiosn
Professor Yan Zheng of Queens College coauthored a paper in the Journal of Visualized Ezperiments on: Sediment Core Sectioning and Extraction of Pore Waters under Anoxic Conditions Abstract: We demonstrate a method for sectioning sediment cores and extracting pore waters while maintaining oxygen-free conditions. A simple, inexpensive system is built and can be transported to a temporary work space close to field sampling site(s) to facilitate rapid analysis. Cores are extruded into a portable glove bag, where they are sectioned and each 1-3 cm thick section (depending on core diameter) is sealed into 50 ml centrifuge tubes. Pore waters are separated …
#EESPublishes: Prof #TeresaJBandosz of @CityCollegeNY on #AmoniaSensors and #Carbon #Electronic Properties
Professor Teresa Bandosz of City College coauthored a paper in ACS Sensors on- Nitrogen-doped activated carbon-based ammonia sensors: effect of specific surface functional groups on carbon electronic properties Abstract: Wood-based commercial activated carbon (BAX) and its oxidized counterpart (BAX-O) were treated with melamine and then heated at 450oC in nitrogen. Further oxidation with nitric acid was also applied. The carbons were tested for ammonia sensing (45-500 ppm of NH3). Even though all samples exhibit p-type conduction, their exposure to NH3 led to different electrical outcomes. It was found that the electronic and transport properties of the carbons strongly depend on the …
